A Moodscapes Favorite: Daphne Carol Mackie Shrub

This is one of our favorite plants here at Moodscapes. A fragrant plant in the spring, the Carol Mackie blooms both in the spring and again in the fall. The branches are covered with long green leaves with cream colored margins that turn bronze in fall and persist until early winter.

May- clusters of fragrant pink flowers

June- bright green leaves, outlines with cream color

This popular semievergreen shrub ranges in size from 3-5 ft wide and tall and very easy to grow in marginally fertile soils. Ideal for beds, borders and foundation plantings.

Its a great plant to monitor and watch as it changes with the seasons.
